A new forum low??, by funster on Dec 14, 2007 10:11:36 GMT 1, I'm really annoyed about this but maybe a level headed forum member will say otherwise...
A couple of weeks ago a forum member approached me seeing if I'd let go of a print I've had for a while after he saw it on the "Get your Banksy's out thread" because he said he "really really wanted it" and offered me a swap. Although I knew the swap wasn't of comparable price I was happy that something I wasn't putting up on my wall for the moment would be appreciated by a true art loving forum member. Infact all he's done is put it straight on EBay. This completely takes the piss out of the generosity of forum members trying to do people they've never met a favour. Say if someone just sold on a present from BigMans XMas thread? For weeks now I've stayed well out of any flipping threads and its disappointing to be writing this

+1 for your efforts to help have someone appreciative get a print that would otherwise be stored away, and I hope if anyone else on the forum is as benevolent that photos of the print framed and hanging will be posted so that the facilitator will see the appreciation most members would show.

Outed - both their forum name and ebay name and then booted of the forum.
I'm completely appalled by this.

Before long we'll need to be asking for references before trading or selling.

A new forum low??, by funster on Dec 14, 2007 10:24:28 GMT 1, I am really pissed off but I'm not going to name them until atleast I've heard back from the person involved as its just not making sense to me at the moment. I wouldn't want to give anyone a bad reputation who didn't deserve it. Sometimes very unpredictable things happen in life and maybe thats happened to them, but even so I would have thought they'd send a quick pm first

A new forum low??, by spencerlee on Dec 14, 2007 10:38:34 GMT 1, I've seen this exact behaviour on a music form. It is a close community who love music and collect records, this one person begged for all these releases, and people let them go for what they got them for, well below market price, thinking they would help a forum member out.
Witinin two weeks he was flogging them for a tidy profit on the same forum and ebay.

A new forum low??, by snakes on Dec 14, 2007 10:47:20 GMT 1, yeah i know the score as i passed on a print to a forum member at cost (plus import taxes) when i could have easily have stuck it on ebay and made a few extra quid.
Then all you hear from that member how they got this print at well below current market cost, brag brag brag.
And low and behold the punk put it on ebay thus flipping it at a profit where he should really have offered it out to another forum member at cost thus spreading the love x
ebay ref: 120194384722
Worst thing being that i recieved no thanks once they had recieved it either.

A new forum low??, by funster on Dec 14, 2007 11:44:41 GMT 1, I've heard back from the member, although a lot doesn't make sense what I will say is (in this time of Christmas cheer) that I know the member in question has made valuable comments in the past and that I'm sure this is a one off as he'd had a change of heart over his collection (which actually is the reason). I won't be saying who the member is because I don't think its healthy in the forum for individuals (me or others) to be able to create a witch hunt based on just one sides feelings (in this case mine). But am I still a little pissed... yes

If this is really what has happened I would not want to deal with them as I look at the forum as a community where we all pull together, not somewhere to make a quick profit.

Like CLB has said (It's not the first time this has happened) and i am sure it will not be the last I think we all need to take a bit more care who we deal with in future
